Alcohol and medicine have an inextricably intertwined history, with innovations in each altering the path of the other. The story stretches back to the ancient world, when beer and wine were used to provide nutrition, hydration, and act as solvents for healing botanicals. Over time, alchemists distilled elixirs designed to cure all diseases, monastic apothecaries developed mystical botanical liqueurs, travelling physicians concocted dubious intoxicating nostrums, and the drinks we're familiar with today began to take form. In turn, scientists studied fermentation and formed the germ theory of disease, and developed an understanding of elemental gasses and anesthetics. Modern cocktails like the Gimlet, Gin & Tonic, and Old Fashioned were born as delicious remedies for diseases and discomforts. In Doctors and Distillers, cocktail expert Camper English reveals how and why the contents of our medicine and liquor cabinets were, until surprisingly recently, one and the same"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Alcoholic beverages $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Drinking of alcoholic beverages $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Therapeutics $x History. 650 0 $a Medicine $x History. 650 2 $a History of Medicine 650 6 $a TheÌrapeutique $x Histoire. 650 6 $a MeÌdecine $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Boissons alcooliseÌes $x Histoire. $x Histoire. 650 7 $a history of medicine. $2 aat 650 7 $a MEDICAL / Clinical Medicine. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Alcoholic beverages $x Therapeutic use. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00804406 650 7 $a Drinking of alcoholic beverages $x Health aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898220 650 7 $a Medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014893 650 7 $a Therapeutics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149694 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a English, Camper. $t Doctors and distillers $d New York : Penguin Books, [2022] $z 9780525506591 $w (DLC) 2021058522 941 $a 10 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111011815.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231017010839.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011119.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024256.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010254.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230301010258.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207010850.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221111010101.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220902010321.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220824011044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A02CD820098311EDB261E6D81FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
